Spikes and Sparrow Dakota Small Shopper Tote Brandy

Description: Our bags are Dutch design, and produced by hand in India. We only work with factories that we know and trust. Factories that do not employ child labour, do not force workers to work overtime, and that create a clean work environment whilst paying normal salaries. That use only REACH compliant chemicals, and nickel free metals. All our factories are either already certified by international standards (such as BSCI or SA8000), or are in the process towards such certification. QUALITY We want our bags to reflect your personality. They can only start doing that after spending (a lot of) time with you. This is why our products need to last. Why we spend time on production details, like how to stitch the lining to make sure it won’t tear. Or how to attach the handles in such a way that whatever you decide to carry around in your bag, they won’t break. It is why we use only the best zippers and the strongest metal parts. Why we keep on testing our leather and metal components regularly and why we work continuously on improvements. OUR LEATHER We only use leather that is made of skins that are a by-product of slaughter. This means that the cows and buffalo’s that provide us with their hides are slaughtered because of their meat, not because of their skins. We refuse to use any hides that come from protected, or rare, animals. Since we only use naked leather (meaning there is no artificial protective layer added on top), that is finished by applying waxes and/or oils, the look of our bags will change over time as the waxes migrate over the skin. It means that what you see is the real structure of the skin with all its imperfections. And that not one piece of leather is exactly the same as another piece. Due to the absence of a seal on top of the leather, our bags are not perfect in the rain; prolonged or strong immersion in water can lead to permanent spots on your bag. This is inherent to the product and just helps to make it even more individual and yours. It also means that our bags can bleed some color when new, just like a new pair of jeans can. This bleeding will stop once all the waxes or oils will have sealed the skin completely. So please be careful in the beginning when wearing your bag, and avoid wearing her on very light-colored clothing.
